About these 30th Birthday Cards
Most people buying a 30th card here are buying for a partner, a sister, or the friend they have had since school, and they want something that does not read like it came off a supermarket shelf on the way to the party. The funny designs lean into the milestone, the foil ones treat it as a proper occasion, and the scratch reveals let you hide a concert or a weekend away behind the panel.
The foil is real foil. It goes through a heated press one sheet at a time, which is why the gold moves in the light rather than sitting flat like printed ink. Cards are printed on heavyweight cardstock, come blank inside so you write the message yourself, and arrive with a kraft or white envelope.
Everything is made to order in Mallow, County Cork. If the surprise should be part of the gift rather than the card, the birthday keepsake cards and scratch reveal cards do that. For the cake, there are matching birthday cupcake toppers.
Your questions, answered
Everything you need to know before you personalise a card.
How does personalising work?
On the product page there's a box for the name, age or wording you want. Some designs add that text into the printed design itself, others leave the inside blank for you to write by hand. Each product page says which one it is.
Can I see a proof before it's printed?
For a straightforward name and date, I print without a separate proof. If your wording is longer or unusual, message me first and I'll confirm it before it goes to print.
What if I spot a typo after I've ordered?
Message me as soon as you can. If it hasn't gone to print yet I can fix it for free. Once it's printed and dispatched, a replacement is a paid reprint.
What foil colours do you offer?
Gold, silver, rose gold and holographic, plus gold holographic on some designs, I have over 30 foil color to choose from. Each product page shows which colours are available for that card.
Which size should I pick?
A6 is the standard card size and A5 is roughly double, better when the design carries a lot of wording or you want it to feel like a keepsake.
How long before it arrives?
- Made to order and dispatched within 2-4 working days, then standard An Post delivery within Ireland.
